When pelvic pain starts affecting your everyday life

Living with pelvic pain can feel exhausting, frustrating and, at times, incredibly isolating.

It can affect how you move, exercise, work, sleep, use the toilet, enjoy intercourse, or simply feel comfortable in your own body.

Pelvic pain can often occur alongside other pelvic health symptoms and conditions, including bladder, bowel, pregnancy and postpartum concerns. These can all be assessed and supported as part of your individual care within my clinic.

If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life, you're in the right place.

You don't need a diagnosis before seeking support.

Common Pelvic Pain Symptoms

  • Pain with intercourse, tampon use or pelvic examinations

  • Ongoing pelvic, vaginal or vulval pain

  • Bladder pain, urgency, frequency or discomfort

  • Bowel pain or pain associated with bowel movements

  • Pelvic pain following gynaecological, abdominal or low back surgery

  • Pelvic pain linked to conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, lichen sclerosus or interstitial cystitis

  • Pregnancy or postpartum pelvic pain that hasn't settled

  • A feeling of tightness, tension or difficulty relaxing the pelvic floor

  • Menopause-related vulvovaginal pain or symptoms (Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause)

My Clinical Approach

Persistent pelvic pain is complex.

It is rarely caused by one muscle, one joint or one diagnosis. My role is to understand your symptoms, identify the factors contributing to your pain, and create a rehabilitation plan that feels achievable, evidence-based and individual to you.

This is a safe, supportive and judgement-free space. There is no such thing as too much information when it comes to pelvic health. You're encouraged to talk openly about your symptoms, concerns and goals so we can understand the full picture together.

Your assessment may include:

  • Detailed discussion about your symptoms and goals

  • Pelvic pain mapping

  • Pelvic floor assessment (where appropriate)

  • Movement and breathing assessment

  • Bladder, bowel and sexual health assessment

  • Pregnancy or postpartum assessment (where relevant).

Your rehabilitation may include:

  • Pain and pelvic health education

  • Pelvic floor down-training or strengthening

  • Movement and strength rehabilitation

  • Nervous system regulation strategies

  • Bladder and bowel rehabilitation (where relevant)

  • Self-management techniques, which may include pelvic wand or vaginal dilator training, alongside other tools and strategies where appropriate.
